Requirements

Important: If your site is running on PHP 7.2 or higher, the upgrade will not work. Temporarily lower your PHP version to at least 5.6 then follow the rest of this upgrading guide. After upgrading, you can switch back to your original PHP version.

How it works

1. Check the changelog

We have added a dozen of new features to DOCman 3 but also removed a few. Make sure to check the changelog before upgrading.

2. Backup, the backup

Before you start the upgrade process please make a full backup of your site. If you have private documents, make sure you site is offline or make a copy of your site where you can work in.

3. Install the DOCman package

Note: The remove orphans feature has been removed in DOCman 3.1. If you wish to remove your orphan files you need to do this before upgrading. You cannot do it anymore after upgrading.
